I had a strong feeling it was the right day for a nice, full tarot reading for Moonday, and then our messages for this week quite literally leapt out for us haha. As Mercury, Mars, and Venus each respectively end their cycles in Capricorn and begin new chapters in Aquarius, one-by-one they will engage in a full embrace with Pluto, who will be staying in the early degrees of Aquarius for the next several years.  With our current line of celestial players up to bat—and an upcoming new...

February 1st-2nd marks the Celtic pagan celebration, Imbolc (aka Candlemas, Brigid’s Day, Oimelc), the first pagan sabbat of the calendar year.

If you’ve scrolled through WitchTok or any side of the witchy social media space, chances are you’ve heard someone say, “You need to do your shadow work!” But not a lot of people are talking about what that actually means. Recently I was asked by several of our neighbors what tips I have for anyone who’s never done shadow work before. This is something we’ve chatted about in a previous episode of That Witch Podcast, but I thought it was a perfect time for a refresher. So this is my most...

What a weekend! Astrologically speaking. Saturday was full of shifts—the moon moved into Gemini, the Sun moved into Aquarius, and so did Pluto. It’s not quite all about Aquarius though, and this week we’ll see Venus join Mercury and Mars in Capricorn where we may find some real flow of efficiency, and opportunity to cross some big tasks off our list. All of this combined with our upcoming Leo Full Moon this week means energy is running on HIGH, and that increased sense of efficiency can...

The much-anticipated death witch episode…! This is one branch of magick particularly difficult to encapsulate into one episode (so maybe there will be more?!) but I really tried to offer my best explanations and advice for anyone feeling intrigued by and called to this sacred path. Death witchcraft and death magick are not evil practices, their work is centered around honoring one of our most divine universal laws, and healing our deeply wounded relationship with it. In this episode I...

We’re getting up to a couple of things in this episode. For one thing, we need to chat about this Pluto in Aquarius business because you are sure to see it talked about everywhere. Aquarius season is arriving, and this year it is joined by a massive Plutonian—therefore generational—shift. And finally, I'm giving you homework. Yep. Because late Monday evening the Moon will move into Aries, beginning a new cycle in the zodiac this week. And this aligns so damn ✨divinely✨ with exactly what I’m...

Recently I was sent an excellent question from one of our neighbors who asked about why some astrologers will advise against sharing your birth chart on social media.

Something that will take you 5 minutes or less, and...

When I first embraced myself as a witch, I really struggled with the whole idea of Christmas. Was I doing something wrong by celebrating it? Was I being a hypocrite by singing Christmas carols about Jesus? Did this mean I wasn’t really a witch after all? If you’re feeling any of this confusion yourself, today’s Moonday Musings is especially for you, neighbor. All you need is 15 minutes of your time today for this episode, and I really hope I’m able to help you release some tension around...

Better make it count! This week's Sagittarius New Moon is the last one of 2023, and it is followed by a Mercury Retrograde cycle that will take us allll the way to 2024. With the energy this time of year, the expectations vs the reality, the pressure to perform and do it all with a big smile on your face- it turns most of us either into hyper overdrive or into a total freeze state.   →  Listen to today’s episode for a walk-thru on how to “check your chart” if you’re just starting out!

As we begin to enter into more and more Sagittarius energy, I think we’ll slowly but surely start feeling that made-it-to-the-other-side sense of relief…and I still think it would be helpful to hold a liiittle extra space for patience with ourselves this week too. Today on Moonday Musings we’re going to talk about how we can respond to ourselves when we say or do things we don’t really intend to do when we’re under a lot of stress or pressure. Because we can always use the reminder to take...

In the vast and complex world of astrology, it is so easy to get overwhelmed by all the different tools, methods, and various ways to incorporate it in your real life. And, what if you really love astrology, but you’re not necessarily looking to become a full blown astrologer? What if you’re not really called to tracking all the different haps with the planets and transits, but you also don’t want to completely abandon the zodiac altogether? That is exactly what this episode of That Witch...

This week Venus waves goodbye to Virgo and steps home into Libra, while Mercury makes its own departure from Scorpio and says hello to the Sagittarius way of life. New beginnings like these make it easy to keep our sights so forward, forward, forward….but not wanting to get stuck in or face the past can also bar us from learning from our experiences. Today on Moonday Musings we’ll talk about these planetary messages of reflection, and expand even further in this week’s tarot card reading....

I think one of the most frequently-discussed conversations we have inside That Witch School is the ebb and flow of life and how it impacts our witchcraft practice. When we’re getting hit hard by the external stressors and we find ourselves not having or not making the same kind of time we usually do for working with our tarot cards, studying astrology, tending to our altar, meditating—you name it. There’s a natural guilt that arises, and I personally remember in the first years of my...

Sooo many layers in the astrology this week indicate heightened sensitivities across different areas of our lives—activity in the spirit realm, activity in the dream realm, our emotions and sense of home, the nature of our relationships, our role in the conscious collective amidst trauma, tragedy, and horror—and believe me, it is easy to feel overwhelmed af right now. With Halloween and Samhain upon us, a boatload of Scorpio energy, Saturn ending its retrograde cycle in Pisces, and asteroid...
